Scott Brown for President? Absolutely!

On the heels of his stunning election victory over Martha Coakley, Scott Brown has suddenly been propelled into the national spotlight, and already, domain names are being snapped up in anticipation of a Brown run at the presidency in 2012. Check out Scott Brown for President and Scott Brown 2012. But is Scott Brown prepared to be president? I believe he not only is, but will sink President Obama in the next election.

When it comes to experience, Brown has served as a selectman, a state Congressman, and a state Senator. At this time, he has a couple of years to get some US Senatorial experience under his belt. Brown also holds a law degree. Does this experience sound a bit like the experience of another candidate? Of course, and Obama won the Presidency in 2008. In addition, Scott Brown is a Lt. Colonel in the Massachusetts National Guard. While these qualifications may be a bit light, compared to some of the other contenders, both in the past, and among other projected GOP candidates in 2012, I’ll take them. If some among us can support an idiot like Sarah Palin for President, I have no problem supporting Brown, who has orders of magnitude more charisma, experience, and knowledge than Palin could ever hope to obtain.

Of course, we all know that experience and knowledge only account for part of a potential candidate’s viability as a presidential contender. A candidate also needs that intangible asset known as charisma, the ability to sweep voters off their feet, and send a message that resonates with them. Like him or not, Obama has that ability, which accounts for much of the reason he is sitting in the Oval office today. Whether or not he let down his voters is another story. He played an excellent game in 2008, and was rewarded with victory. Face it. Republicans lost to a better player. However, with Brown, the GOP has a real contender, and not the milquetoast candidates it paraded around during the last election cycle. Watching Brown work the crowds, and watching his election victory speech, I realized that he has the charisma of Ronald Reagan. I, for one, am very excited for the first time since The Gipper held office. Brown is a winner, folks, and his coming into the national spotlight is a gift that was dropped right into the laps of the GOP.

In 2008, the Republican Party settled for mediocrity. They cannot afford to settle for it again in 2012. This is why I support Scott Brown. If the GOP wants to be viable, it must drop Palin and the others like a hot potato, and go with a true winner.

My prediction? Brown will run, and Brown will win. You heard it from me.

  1. Scott has my vote. Anyone other than Obama has my vote but Scott (unlike the other potential canidates) could beat Obama.

  2. The Republicans have been struggling for quite some time to come up with an informed, educated, humble, qualified, businesslike canditate to run for both President and Vice President. If they miss this opportunity in Scott Brown it will be a huge mistake.

  3. Scott Brown is definitely our choice for President in 2012. He not only has the charisma, which is what America fell for in Obama, but the brains and smarts to bring our country back to its citizens. As he said the night he was elected in Massachusetts, the seat in the Oval Office will be the people's seat, not his! He will work for the people!
